Trauma-Informed Therapy

A safe space to feel
truly seen

Sometimes we all need a place to lay out the pieces of our story and make sense of how they fit together. You don't have to carry the weight alone.

Brenda Rooney, a warm and approachable counsellor specializing in trauma-informed therapy
About Brenda

Warm, down-to-earth, and here to walk alongside you

I take a holistic, person-centred approach, drawing from trauma-informed therapies and my background in yoga to help you reconnect with your body and emotions.

My hope is that you feel empowered to live a meaningful life, one that feels aligned and true to you. I believe change begins the moment we feel truly seen and understood.

FAQ

Common questions

Therapy isn't just for people in crisis. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who want to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, or work through something that's been holding them back. If you're curious about therapy, that's usually a good sign it could help.

I don't direct bill, but I provide receipts you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Most extended health plans cover sessions with a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). I recommend checking with your provider about your coverage before booking.

I ask for 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations or no-shows are charged the full session fee. If something unexpected comes up, reach out and we can discuss options.

The first session is about getting to know each other. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you're hoping to achieve, and any questions you have. It's also a chance for you to see if working together feels like the right fit.

Most clients start with weekly sessions, then move to bi-weekly or monthly as things progress. We'll find a rhythm that works for your goals, schedule, and budget.

Yes, I offer both in-person and virtual sessions. Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person, and many clients appreciate the flexibility. Virtual sessions are conducted through a secure, PHIPA-compliant video platform.

That's what the free 15-minute consultation is for. We can talk about what's on your mind, I can answer your questions, and you can decide if it feels like a good fit. No pressure, no obligation.
